Export body..
In August 08,after a few weeks of e mails,and other assorted paperwork,we packed a T bucket,turtledeck,grille shell,our T bucket dash,and a few other bits and pieces into a crate and flicked it across the ditch to a Brisbane customer,so he could build his new toy..
Here are some piccies that he has sent us,of his progress..Micah 6:8

If you guys know how big a Ford Cortina is,[1978],mid sized 2000cc 4 cylinder,well,Ford Australia produced those cars with that 250inch six in them..and a 200inch six,as well.The Cortina with that engine was cranking low 12s on the strip,I believe,in street trim.
Should work real fine in a T bucket..
